I had Glory in a match last weekend and she did every class from Pre-Novice to Utility and the only difficulty that she had at all was with the articles. She just needs more time with them. I am very pleased with everything that I have trained her with. I love her signals....way better than with the boys. I did all her drops on a mat with a clicker and she has learned all that very well. Training on the gravel at home has prevented her from learning to hit the dumbbell with her feet so she is doing a nice clean pickup.
I have started to do some handling drills with her using place boards and that is going very well too.
I have her entered now in a NAMBR trial on the 25th of March. So that will give her some ring experience before she goes into the CKC ring.
I am also thinking about entering her in either CARO or CKC Rally-O....to give her some more ring time.
